During this retreat, you will stay in a shared room with a private or shared bathroom. The Peaceful Mountain Retreat Center has easy access from major airports and cities, yet it is completely isolated from the hustle and bustle of the cities. It offers accommodations for 15–20 people and features a central open-air atrium meeting space, a large carpeted meeting room for multiple activities, a prayer space, a sauna, a yoga space with hardwood floors, and a fitness room.
Peaceful Mountain is a beautiful accommodation near Mt. Baker with everything you need: yoga space with hardwood floors, meditation spaces, exercise room, hot tub, sauna, full kitchen from which the team will serve three delicious meals daily, and access to nature and hiking trails. Rod is a wonderful owner and host who may play his didgeridoo for you if you are lucky!
The rooms with private baths are upstairs and a bit more spacious, and the shared rooms downstairs have three rooms to share two baths.
Program
You will have daily yoga, meditation, hikes, a meditation, community, and also a sound bath, and some workshops. This year’s retreat theme will be “The Heart and Art of Presence." They will explore the meaning of “presence” and offer tips to feel and allow more presence, awareness, and attention to your lives.
They will offer some breath and meditation techniques to facilitate the experience of more presence in your life. They will include silent times on the hike as well as a silent meditation walk in nature. They will discuss how to recognize and deal with evil courageously, not alone but with the company of your divine friend. Ultimately, fear dissipates as you grow more aligned with the true power of the universe, what some call God.
The retreat usually has about 15-20 people, a chance to make new friends and connect, but also quiet time to read, relax, and rejuvenate. You are invited to do as many or as few of the classes and activities as fits you and your needs. Please note that this is an alcohol-free event.
Besides yoga and meditation, you will do some hiking in beautiful mountains and forests. You will discuss how to align with the divine to clear the fear, and you will do a delightful sound bath to help you connect on all levels. You will also include a couple of small workshops/playshops to dive deeper into the topic of presence, meditation, breath, etc.
Sound bath
An easy way to calm the mind and access higher energy vibrations. They invite the group to lie down and relax while Liz and Roy play a variety of instruments and sounds to help you move into blissful rest before bedtime.
Included excursions
This retreat includes hiking activities around the North Cascade Mountains, a silent meditation guided walk, and lake swimming. At the retreat center itself will be daily yoga, meditation/prayer, healing opportunities, a sauna, and a sound bath.
